The education segment focuses on ways to create jazz comping patterns based on classic funk grooves, such as Clyde Stubblefield’s legendary beat on the James Brown song “Funky Drummer.” Up for review is a pair of snare drums by Pfeifer Drum Company: a 6×14 9-lug maple and a 6.5×16 mahogany. After fielding a few listener questions, the show concludes with picks of the week.
